Poem: The Absence of Geese
Life on the farm is kinda laid back-as John Denver sang!
The Absence of Geese
The absence of geese
improves the landscape
not at all, as far as I can see!
Sold- to rid us of the aggravation -
the care and feeding - to set us free.
Well, it didn’t happen!
(Or is it only me?)
The pasture now seems sad, forlorn, so empty,
with the profound absence of familiar
Yet, with, traces still of, feathers floating ‘round.
They’re picked up, randomly,
by gusts of winter wind!
They flutter, briefly, silently,
then once again they settle on the ground.
